00:00It's not easy at all for us to figure out the cause of this pain.
00:03This boggles the minds of even doctors and physical therapists.
00:07And to resolve the back pain once and for all, you need to know what the problem is.
00:10Kidney stones or renal calculic, the clue for this pain is that it comes and goes out of nowhere.
00:16It's the kind of pain that makes you restless because there's no comfortable position,
00:20no movement that relieves it, and it seems to run like clockwork.
00:23Every 20 minutes or so, it starts getting worse.
00:26You get all restless and out of nowhere, it eases up.
00:30Depending on where the pain is, we can guess where the calculus is, where the stone is located.
00:35If you're feeling pain in your ribs, in your back, in the lower part of your ribs,
00:40the stone is in the kidney or it's leaving the kidney.
00:44If the stone is on its way between the kidney and the bladder in the ureter,
00:48that pain moves to the side of the belly.
00:50And when it reaches the bladder, that pain spreads to the private area, to the genital area,
00:58or else to the upper thigh, to the groin, between the thighs.
01:02There's a super easy test to find out if the pain you're feeling is from a kidney stone or not.
01:07You're going to make a fist like this, thumb not on top, but on the side.
01:11The idea is for the top part of the hand to be completely flat.
01:15With this part of the hand, you're going to lightly tap next to the spine.
01:21The idea isn't to hurt.
01:23The idea is to shake things inside.
01:26If it's a kidney stone causing this pain you're feeling,
01:29the moment it shakes inside, you'll feel very intense pain.
01:32Aheaderic sizes we're going to do shortly will help relax the tension in the muscles,
01:38especially the psoas muscle, which is connected to the kidney,
01:42and make this process of passing the stone more comfortable, easier for you.
01:47And remember that it's important for you to see a nephrologist, a kidney specialist,
01:52both to know how to deal with this stone that's causing pain right now,
01:56and to prevent other stones from appearing.
01:59For the next exercise, we're going to lie down on our stomachs.
02:03It can be on the couch, in bed, or even on the floor, if that's comfortable for you.
02:08Lie down on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows.
02:12Try to look forward and push your chest forward.
02:15If your neck hurts, keep your chest forward and just look down as far as it feels comfortable,
02:20until this neck pain goes away, okay?
02:24This position is already a kind of stretch for everything in front of the spine.
02:30Muscle, psoas, intestines, kidney, liver, but it also improves the ligaments.
02:38Breathe in a relaxed way.
02:40If you want to take it a step further, increase the stretch.
02:43You can use your breath to deepen the stretch.
02:46Exhale for a count of three.
02:47On four, you inhale.
02:50Watch.
02:57Count at your own pace.
03:00Slowly, stay in this position using the breathing that deepens the stretch for a minute.
